The title, "Germany's battle cry is...," ends mid-phrase in the record, so the picture seems to be a caption-driven image that completes its message in the artwork itself. Images of this kind were common in 1915, early in a war that had quickly become a contest over public opinion, when cartoonists and publishers in Allied and neutral countries used slogans and caricature to portray German militarism. Viewers in that period would have read such a picture quickly, guided by its headline and its stock symbols. Its value today lies in showing how the war was argued on the home front.
